The leadership of a Saskatchewan farm organization will undergo major change this fall.
President Terry Hildebrandt and vice-president Cecilia Olver will not seek re-election to those positions at the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan general meeting in December.
Hildebrandt was one of the initiators of the new farm movement that formed five years ago.
APAS bylaws allow him to stay one more year but he said that he must focus on a new family business.
He said he is proud of the effective lobby voice that APAS has become.
“I’ve always been an advocate that fresh ideas and energy are necessary if an organization is to continue to be successful and thrive,” he said. “Within the organization there are many highly qualified people who can take on the leadership role.”
Olver has been vice-president for three years.APAS is made up of 124 member rural municipalities.
